Yeah that's what I've been wondering, why are there so many people on a place like marketplace or even to a lesser extent Craigslist want to part out their vehicle but not sold the whole thing getting a title can't be that hard can it?​@@lancebasss3959

Buyers show sellers no respect on Facebook Marketplace. You have to give it to the first person who shows up with the cash. A lot of people make promises and then never show, w/o even the courtesy of letting you know.

[@lyndonchasse4164]

Anytime I've sold anything on Marketplace, I put "first come first serve" right in the description. I typically also am just trying to offload something so it's pretty cheap. Buyers should know it's a race before even reaching out.

I'm on the seller's side on this one to be quite honest. Can't trust anyone that says they are on the way with cash. I'm sure as a salesman, it has happened to you.

I dont understand why sellers expect people to just turn up with cash, hand it over and drive the car away. If i were buying a car, besides checking it thoroughly, i would have to arrange an inspection, do a carfax report just to decide if i want to buy it. This itself takes a couple of days. Then i would have to get my insurance to cover it, deal with all the paper work. Takes another day or so. There is no “hand over cash and take the car away”

[@rmartin6261]

You had question why road side sellers do not like to sell to dealers. I was selling my '97 Camaro several years ago, and someone came up and offered less than half my asking. I had already done research to find the price point for the car, so I was confident I was going to sell it for a few hundred of my asking price. After some back and forth, he told me that he could not even sell my car for a $1000 less than my asking price on his lot. (He did not tell me the lot name) I sold to someone else for about $100 less than I was hoping for, but well above this guys highest offer. So I kind of have a distrust of dealers that come to the house, but if you try to buy the car somewhere near my expectation for the car, than I don't care. Spend time telling my that the car is only worth much much less, but you have cash, we are not going to have a long conversation.

[@dorkydave7026]

As a buyer on Facebook mp or craigslist if I am going to look at a car that will draw interest I always put it into the mind of the seller that if the car is in great shape I will pay over their asking price just this simple thought has helped me buy cars. Even if I show up and others are buying I make it known that I will pay over ... these days have to do just about anything to find a good used car.

[@josephschmoe3796]

I buy used cars every once in a while, I start shopping for my next car when I leave the lot in my new car. I love to shop for cars. Facebook marketplace, Craigslist and even auto-trader are full of people who may not be scammers, but they are lying to buyers from the beginning. They advertise as if they are private sellers, but really are in business of flipping cars. A lot are people who flip cars, and really are unlicensed dealers. You can tell because every two weeks, they will have a different car for sale with the same contact cel-phone and the pictures will all be taken in the same cul-de-sac. I don't even call these douche-bags. In my state, you need a license if you sell more that 5 vehicles per year and have to have a place of business. If you have to lie to me to just to get my call, no dice. It is also my experience that most of these clowns buy the cheapest parts possible, do the minimum amount of work to get the vehicle to just present well and just really do a lousy job reconditioning the vehicle.
